The Praise Keeps Coming For Peggy Shaw's RUFF

“I am smitten….this performance could, and should, be seen as one of quiet charms and a sort of honoring of a performance milieu and style and community. Women speaking to women, lone voices reaching out to embrace other human beings, a pared -down sensibility telling a tale of self-revelation through poetic words, through sharing a shoe or an orange or a piece of clothing with the audience (later to be delivered to the performer). Small acts of connecting adding up to a big theatrical heart that beats constantly and loudly for audience members smart enough to make their way to La MaMa before this show closes.”
